Bubble eye Ram died... (At least when it was quarantined)
I have still 6 left - One is itching all the time...go figure what this is
;-)
The 'big' issue today was that I was able to see one Amano shrimp but it
disappear after a short while....
Maybe they are still hiding some place...
As for the Rams they are locally grown in HARD water.... imported Rams would
survive in my tank only for about a week....

Red, you need to assess the state of your LFS's tanks. I would say the
biggest culprit would be water quality. The rams probably go into
osmotic shock and then over the next few days/weeks slowly dwindle
away. In my my part of the woods Rams are pretty expensive so
acclimating them slowly was the way to go for me. You could also try
Bolivian Rams, not as colourful but also an equally wonderful fish. I
bought 6 and one died ;( The rest are thriving in my tank, a much
hardier species IMO. hth

Most of the blue rams I got were online purchases, and it was my mistake
by
getting them from the same place twice...
